found her site deep in the Coast mountains, 25 miles from the nearest road and neighbor, she had very little experience of building. The site was reached on foot with pack dogs; all logs had to be felled, hauled and raised using hand tools only.

The continuing saga, through letters to Peter Gzowski at CBC Radio’s Morningside, kept listeners riv- eted for months in the mid- "80s.

Czajkowski later expanded her Setters into two books, Cabin at Singing River and To Stalk the Oomingmak, and has recently completed a new work, Diary of a Wilderness Dweller.

Writing is only one of her interests, however; she is an

accomplished painter and nat- uralist, and now conducts wilderness tours for artists and wildflower enthusiasts from her cabin. She is currently fas- cinated by the fragility and toughness of Alpine wildflow- ers: she paints ¢ them not indi- vidually but in masses in their natural setting to emphasize their relationships to each other and to the environment.

Chris Czajkowski rarely vis- its “civilization,” but she will be at the Capilano branch of North Vancouver District Library on Thursday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. to give a slide talk about her experiences and her work as a writer, painter, natu- ralist. and builder of cabins. There is no charge. For more information, call the Capilano Library at 987-4471.
